In other words, the only evidence that Remington had been cited for suspicion while driving under the influence early Friday morning in Eugene was that he technically remains suspended indefinitely. And that's pretty much all Oregon coach Chip Kelly had to say on the subject as Oregon began preparation for Thursday night's game at Arizona State.

Remington, driving a Honda Accord, was pulled over just after 12:30 a.m. Friday at East 12th Avenue and Kincaid Street, and taken into custody but not jailed. No.2 Oregon (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) announced later Friday that Remington, who was not available for comment, had been suspended pending clarification of the incident.

Eugene Police released minimal information on the traffic stop involving the Phoenix, Ariz., native. Jen McCulley, Eugene Police spokesperson, said a blood test was pending and that Remington's blood alcohol levels could not be released. According to two university sources, Remington underwent a field sobriety test, and a breathalyzer test revealed Remington's blood alcohol content to be .06. The legal limit is .08.

Teammates' reactions to Remington's arrest ranged from shock to support and included plenty in between.

"It's a family," senior running back Kenjon Barner said. "At the end of the day families stick together. Any guy that gets into any off the field situation, or any situation, on this team, we're going to stand by him."

Remington faces a Nov.1 court date.

The Ducks play at USC on Nov.3. Whether Remington is back on the field by then remains to be seen. It's not even certain that he won't play Thursday night at Arizona State.

Kelly said his rules regarding the participation of suspended players varies depending on the circumstances.

"He's going to come to practice and be here with his teammates," Kelly said after practice Saturday. "He's not going to be home feeling sorry for himself. But he's not going to participate."

By all accounts, however, Remington did participate in practice. Freshmen defensive linemen Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner said Remington took part in team drills just like any other practice.

Both stand to see more playing time in Oregon's defensive line rotation should Remington miss game action. But Armstead said he did not receive more repetitions than usual Saturday and the rotation remained the same with Remington very much involved.

"We stayed the same and everybody was out there competing," Armstead said.

Buckner said defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro informed the unit that Remington was suspended until further notice.

Buckner said Remington was his normal, cheerful, helpful self at practice.

Senior defensive end Dion Jordan declined to comment much on Remington's situation.

He's tied for third on the team in tackles for loss with four and has 12 tackles in six games. At 6-foot-6, 305-pounds, Remington is one of the Ducks' best run stuffers. But the team rotates so many defensive linemen that his presence might not be missed much for a few games.

Armstead and Buckner present the size and ability to fill in but both are still learning to play at the major college level.

Armstead said he's improved over six games in terms of recognizing offensive schemes, learning Oregon's defense and using proper technique. He doesn't expect more playing time to make him feel more pressure.

"Pretty much every week people go down," he said. "People aren't here and we just continue to do the same things we've been doing in practice to get us ready for the game."

Buckner echoed those statements and said he's prepared to fill in wherever.

"Coach has been making me learn all of the positions on the D-line," Buckner said. "So I feel pretty comfortable at all the places I'm in right now."

Defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti said the versatility at the position allows him to juggle lineups with relative ease. So Armstead and Buckner might not see increased minutes. But Aliotti certainly sees the freshmen as viable options.

As does Kelly, who didn't appear to be worried about missing a key defensive lineman, just like he didn't seem concerned when seniors, safety John Boyett and guard Carson York were lost for the season several weeks ago.

"Everybody rotates, everybody plays," Kelly said. "We've got a lot of guys up front. We rotate eight or nine guys on defense. So if one of those guys were to be out we'll rotate the same eight or nine guys but we'd be down one."
